1. A method of wireless communication, comprising:

  • actively communicating on a first radio access technology (RAT);

    maintaining a second RAT in an inactive state;

    yielding potentially interfering resources of a user equipment from the first RAT to the second RAT to temporarily suspend the active communications on the first RAT, the temporary suspension being timed based on when a signal of the second RAT needed to allow proper operation of the second RAT is expected to occur; and

    listening for and receiving an occurrence of the signal of the second RAT using the potentially interfering resources during the temporary suspension,wherein the first RAT comprises a long term evolution (LTE) radio and the second RAT comprises a wireless local area network (WLAN) radio, andthe yielding of the potentially interfering resources is so that the WLAN radio will receive a beacon after missing a predetermined number of beacons.
